tremoloman2006 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I never had a CoCo but would like to get one someday. I found this video on youtube and have fond memories playing it at the local Radio Shack when I was a kid. Can someone tell me what game this is please? I may just have to pick one up if I find the name of this title! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yup, it's downland. Fun game. I think there was some discussion about 2 different versions of the game. Maybe the original version wouldn't work on the CoCo3 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 That game was REALLY hard; I never made it beyond the second or third screen. Those blasted acid drops got me very time. If memory serves, this was one of the last cartridge games for the original Coco; it came out about 1985, not too long before the Coco 3 was announced.

tremoloman2006 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks for the replies everyone! I thought "Download" was a typo for "Download" or something. Guess I'm just a dummy. Is there a CoCo emulator that would let me play this on the PC? I looked around and haven't had much success looking on the internet. I'm really itching to play this again!

Also the patched version for the CoCo 3 works in VCC (Virtual Color Computer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxd Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Has anyone ever gotten really far in this game? I loved it back in the day but really never got more than 3 or 4 screens in, maybe a screen further than that utube video. I wonder if anyone ever hacked the game to make it easier. I'd love a version that at least gave you more time until that damn bat appears anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
